Join us in transforming the lives of children with SEN

Fundraising for The Unicorn School is a fantastic (and fun!) way to help neuro-diverse children. Take on a personal challenge, organise an event, or get creative with a fundraising idea of your own. Every effort will transform a child’s life.

Personal challenges might include signing up to your local 10k, a trek in the UK or overseas, or setting your own challenge such as walking or running 50 miles in a month. Events can range from organising a pub quiz, a bake sale at work, a Eurovision sweepstake or a barn dance in your community – and much more. Be creative. Run in fancy dress, throw a themed event, organise an easter egg hunt in your community, or do something a little bit different – you do you!

Double your donations, double your impact. Some companies will match the funds raised by their staff. If your workplace offers this, get in touch and we can help.

If you’d like to chat about your fundraising and donation options, we would love to hear from you and offer support and advice.

Steve Carr’s epic challenge

“Just like in running, the spirit at The Unicorn isn’t about medals or being the fastest, it’s about celebrating progress at every level.”

When I signed up for that very first Blenheim 7K, I was honestly unsure I could even finish. But I did, and I have, every time since. My race times may not turn heads, but they represent something I’m genuinely proud of. And I like to think that’s what we aim for at The Unicorn too: recognising and valuing achievement in all its forms and understanding that success doesn’t always mean standing on the top podium, often, it’s just about crossing the line with your head held high.”
